Configure the Video component configure-the-video-component
The Video component lets you place a predefined, out-of-the-box (OOTB) video asset on your page.
For proper transcoding to occur, an administrator installs FFmpeg separately. See Install FFmpeg and configure AEM. Administrators also Configure Video Profiles for use with HTML5 elements.
Configure video profiles configure-video-profiles
For use of HTML5 elements, define video profiles. Those chosen here are used in order. To access, use Design Mode (Classic UI only) and select the Profiles tab:
From this dialog, you can also configure the design of the Video component and parameters for Playback, Flash, and Advanced.
Install FFmpeg and configure AEM install-ffmpeg
The Video component relies on the third-party open-source product FFmpeg for transcoding of videos. Downloaded from https://ffmpeg.org/. After installing FFmpeg, configure AEM to use a specific audio codec and specific runtime options.

To configure AEM, follow these steps:
-
Open CRXDE Lite in your web browser. Access http://localhost:4502/crx/de.

To customize the configuration, create an overlay in
/apps/settings/
node and move the same structure under/conf/global/settings/
node. It cannot be edited in/libs
node. For example, to overlay path/libs/settings/dam/video/fullhd-bp
, create it at/conf/global/settings/dam/video/fullhd-bp
.note note NOTE Overlay and edit the entire profile-node and not just the property that needs modification. Such resources are not resolved via SlingResourceMerger. -
If you changed either of the properties, click Save All.
/apps
node to let AEM retrieve the custom changes to the OOTB model.
